RE: Benjamin, Nicholson, Rotegard, Jeffries, and Kirkland all enter the transfer portal
Football is won or lost in a space 18 feet long and about half the width of the field. That's +/- 3 yards of the line of scrimmage and the width of the line with blockers/front 7. If you look at our guys there and look at everyone else's I like our chances every play.

They are listing Telfort at 6-8, 315 now. He was probably 360 when he got here. I'm telling ya, this dude has been WORKING. I can't wait to see him put it all together.

A GT poster said this on the CUSA main board about LeBlanc:
"Obviously, I watched this kid play a ton in person.
Bouncy and supremely athletic. Motor NEVER stops running during a game and my lord does he play long on the floor. He should be dunking everything within 5 feet of the rim.
The end of his time at Georgetown did not end amicably in the locker room or the community and I'll leave it at that. If you can help him keep that in check, you've got yourself one HELL of a talented basketball player with a lot of upside."

We only have him for one year so im not worried about the discipline. Lots of upperclassman and Andy doesn't seem to put up with much should keep him in line. All these guys are coming to do something special together knowing their minutes are gonna be few so i expect most to be focused. This feels like a G-League team with the whole transfer portal being your main line of recruitment. Players in and out

I got that feeling about Kennedy too, until somebody threw the name Marshall Henderson out.

I noticed on verbalcommits that coach has offered 4 new kids recently and theyre all from NY specifically Christ the King High School. I know that school has a great history in basketball but I didnt know if we had a connection to that area at all

I assumed they were all on the same AAU squad and we offered. Some scouts were listing us as having coaches in attendance last week.
